The project will include the construction of the Western Bypass; which will connect the Southern Bypass and the Northern Bypass, completing the ring road and the 16.5km four-lane expressway which will connect the two Bypasses at Gitaru and Ruaka respectively.

The Western Bypass, which is set to cost KSh 17.3 billion, will have 17.7 kilometres of service roads and two metre-wide walkways on both sides.

A brief from the Kenya National Highways Authority (KNHA) showed it will have six interchanges and overpasses at Gitaru, Wangige, Kihara, Ndenderu, Rumingi and Ruaka with 11 traffic bridges and pedestrian underpasses and seven footbridges.
